SB387

Senate Bill 387 amends the Arkansas Military Child School Transitions Act of 2021 to update definitions and administrative requirements regarding military families in public schools. The bill updates federal code citations used to define 'active duty' for military personnel. It requires public school districts meeting specific enrollment thresholds for military children to involve a military family education coordinator in the creation and adoption of parent and family engagement plans. Additionally, the bill modifies the composition and quorum rules for the Arkansas Council for Military Children. Specifically, it allows for designated representatives to serve on the council and excludes the absence of legislative committee chairs from quorum calculations. These changes aim to streamline the support process for transitioning military families within the state's education system.
